No Plans For Power
Rationing Yet
; bALEIGH, May 8—(^P)—Utilities
icsioner Stanley Winborne
Wednesday that he “hoped”
1 , rationing of electric power
tha',d not be necessary in North
*°irn North Carolina which is
faS.or1 by the Virginia Electric
frd Power company.
*The Virginia corporation com
mon yesterday issued an order
Uniting to a total of 24 hours a
1 k power supplied by Virginia
*, ctric and Power to its custom
ers in Eastern Virginia.
Winbotni said Wednesday that
No’.l* Carolina commission
n0* contemplating issuing a
*milar order for the North Caro
L area served by the company,
d j,e said that officials of the
company had informed him that
fte„ did not want to ration power
to their North Carolina customers,
‘xhe utilities commission cbair
wan pointed out that VEPCO had
been obtaining electricity from the
Carolina Power and Light com
nany, but he stated that he did not
knoW whether enough power could
•oe obtained in this way to take care
of VEPCO’s North Carolina custom
ers.
At the same time, Winborne said
tl,a; North Carolina power com
panies had informed him that there
uas "no cause for alarm” over the
state's supply of electric power un
less the current coal strike is pro
longed "for a long time.”
North Carolina s power system
is • well balanced” with both hydro
ttectric plants and steam plants,
and the Nor to Carolina power com
panies can ‘‘cut their steam plants
off entirely and get along,” Win
borne said.
The Utilities commission also re
ported that it understood that North
Carolin , municipalities which have
their power plants are in no im
mediate danger of running short
of coal except for Kinston where
a "brown-out” has already been
placed in effect.

LABOR GOVERNMENT
BILL FOR NEW CITY
BUILDING MOVES ON
LONDON, May 8—(TP)—A Labor
government bill to authorize estab
lishment of development corpora
tions to build 20 new British cities
passed second reading in Commons
Wednesday without an opposition
demand for a vote.
Each town would accommodate
50,000 persons and would cost ap
proximately $76,000,000. The new
cities would accomodate 1,000,000
persons now living in London and
big British provincial cities.
Advocates of the bill said the new
cities would have threaters, con
cert halls, meeting places, football
and cricket grounds and goll
courses and would be “gay and
bright.’*
The Babylonians had a numeri
cal system based on 60 instead of
ten.
400 MILLS MAY
CLOSE UP SOON
Textile Plants In South
Hard Hit By Strike
Of Coal Miners
CHARLOTTE, May 8—(U.R)—Ap
proximately 400 of the South's 700
mills will be forced to close within
30 days if the coal mine strike
should last that long, W. P. Jacobs,
president of the American Cotton
Manufacturers association said
Wednesday night.
Jacobs said that a “number” oi
mills already had shut-down, due
to the strike. He said he did not
have complete figures on the num
bers, but that he knew of several.
On Closing Verge
“Two thirds of the South’s tex
tile mills now are on the verge -1
closing,” he said, “and if the coal
strike continues another month at
its present rate practically every
mill in the south will be forced to
discontinue operations.”
Jacobs attributed the acute situa
tion in which the mills now find
themselves to the fact that they
buy their fuel directly from the
mines and not from the retail deal
ers. Because this is true, he added,
the strike has affected them much
sooner than those concerns which
purchase on a retail basis.
Sold Out
The dealers, he said, were able
to store up coal but the mines sold
almost as rapidly as it was pro
duced.
Jacobs said that since the associ
ation was not connected in any way
with the negotiations, it therefore
had little knowledge of what was
going on. However, he did say that
the association was in sympathy
with the Solid Fuels administrator,
and had talked with him about the
situation.
No Estimate
No estimate was given of the
cloth already lost by those mills
which have quit operation, nor the
number of unemployed'because of
the shut-down.
